| If anyone saw that 8 car + 1 18wheeler wreck on 45-S Friday evening around 5:30...that was me. I was the Z that was under 2 other cars. So I was driving home after work and I see the cars in front of me braking rapidly. I hit my brakes fast - while I'm slowing down I hear the 1st wreck about 4 cars in front of me and then I hear another with smoke and glass going everywhere. I knew it was gonna be close but somehow I managed to stop about 2-3 feet in front of the last wreck. Just as I get excited for stopping in time an Explorer slams into me going about 40mph. He shoved my car underneath a Hyundai Elantra and some Kia jeep thing. The elantra was resting half on my hood and half on the 18 wheeler. I think they cited 2 of the other cars in the wreck. I was the 2nd to last car in it. I'm really just hoping the guy in the Explorer has insurance. The highway was shut down for over 2 hours. I'd estimate there were 16+ ppl in the cars and amazingly nobody went to the hospital. The thing that really amazed me was that my airbags didn't deploy - I think since my car was so low and went under the others. I'll know soon if the car is totaled and how much I can buy the wreck back for. If anyone needs any of the major parts on my car - let me know. Please dont ask for small things yet. I should have pictures later this week.
"And Shepherds we shall be, for Thee my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
We shall flow a river forth unto Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritu Sancti."
